Senior Software Engineer with 4+ years at Wayground (formerly Quizizz), an edtech platform serving 60M+ users. I operate at the intersection of infrastructure, product engineering and AI systems, owning architecture end-to-end, not just implementation. In the last year I conceived and led Waygent, an AI-native employee assistant that autonomously handles data analysis, sales enablement, outreach automation and customer research across 5 business domains, saving roughly 1 engineer-week per domain per month. I also led a team to migrate full-text search from OpenSearch to PostgreSQL using a CDC pipeline via Debezium and Kafka, cutting search infrastructure cost by 70% at 200k RPM. Beyond AI and infra, I have driven high-impact work across the stack: a high-throughput analytics ingestion pipeline at 300k RPM with 99% SLA, an SSG pipeline covering 11M sitemap pages driving 15% of user registrations, and canary deployment pipelines that reduced P0 incidents by 83%. I take ownership of technical direction, trade-off decisions and cross-team alignment, not just tickets. Currently exploring senior IC opportunities at product companies working on infrastructure, platform or AI systems. Core stack: Go, TypeScript, Node.js, React, Vue, PostgreSQL, Kafka, AWS, ChromaDB.
Analytics & Data Platform Owned end-to-end architecture and delivery of Waygent, an in-house analytics platform with Mixpanel-like session explorer, funnel analysis and A/B testing with statistical rigor using t-tests and p-values. Drove cross-functional alignment across product and engineering to ship this, improving registration conversion by 2% and cutting experiment release cycles from 2 weeks to 1 week. Defined the technical direction for a RAG-powered AI analytics agent enabling natural language queries over DAU, CTRs, funnels and A/B results using Python, BigQuery and ChromaDB. Reduced ad-hoc SQL dependency for PMs entirely. Architected and scaled a high-throughput analytics ingestion pipeline processing 300k RPM with 99.99% SLA using Golang, AWS Kinesis and BigQuery. Owned all infrastructure and reliability decisions end-to-end. Designed and drove org-wide adoption of a framework-agnostic analytics SDK across all microfrontends, establishing event tracking standards and reducing data loss by 15%. Defined and owned the Go-based experimentation service for dynamically serving different frontend builds, handling 500k RPM and enabling the product team to run experiments independently without engineering dependency. Led architecture for SSG pipeline using Nuxt, Go and S3 for 11M sitemap pages. Owned the trade-off decisions on build strategy and infra, reducing LCP by 50% and TTFB by 33%, driving 15% of user registrations from organic traffic. Defined and drove org-wide adoption of canary deployment strategy for frontend via Jenkins and backend via AWS CodeDeploy, reducing P0 production incidents by 83%. Spearheaded migration of full-text search from OpenSearch to PostgreSQL, leading a team and owning all architectural decisions including ERD design, CDC pipeline via Debezium and Kafka syncing MongoDB to PostgreSQL at 200k RPM, and a Go search service at the same throughput. Cut search infrastructure cost by 70%.
Successfully led the migration from NUXT Vue 2 and webpack to Vue 3 with TypeScript and Vite, slashing build times from 30 to 7 minutes within six weeks, maintaining zero downtime. Streamlined Hot Module Replacement (HMR), resolving circular dependencies and reducing HMR times from 5 minutes to near-instant, saving approximately 250 developer hours annually. Transitioned the codebase to Turborepo for a monorepo setup, unifying eslint, tslint, tsconfig, and reusable components across two front-end applications with millions of users. Achieved the highest ticket resolution in the organisation, earning an excellence award Enhanced state management by upgrading Vuex stores to Pinia, boosting TypeScript integration and predictability with advanced proxy support. Independently managed a quiz editor used by millions, incorporating rich text editing, media, and interactive gameplay. Revamped the quiz editor to Vue 3 with TypeScript, adopting efficient design patterns like the factory pattern, cutting bugs and critical issues by 90%. Implemented an orchestrator for lengthy jobs, facilitating bulk syncing of US state standards for content tagging, driving school and district leads. Solely handled a lesson editor, akin to Google Slides, featuring interactive elements, themes, shapes, tables, and multimedia support. Integrated runtime TypeScript Zod validations, significantly reducing corrupt data creation by 80% in games and for millions of users. Developed multiple engaging question types, including match and reorder, top contributor to revenue for several weeks. Engineered a feature for bulk importing Google Slides into our lesson editor using AWS Lambda and PDF parsing. Managed the search page, a key driver for 60% of game creation. Integrated multiple rich text plugins using Tiptap to enhance content creation and quality. Client side aggregation using inhouse FE framework. Enabling and maintaining unit and E2E tests with 83% coverage.
Worked on React, Typescript, ASP .NET, GraphQL, PostgreSQL based PWA. Made metadata-driven components for data management using GraphQL. Added supports for generating reports based on Cube.js pre-aggregations and analytics. Increased overall website performance by 60% by implementing GraphQL caching, pagination and reducing network calls also improving lighthouse score.
Worked on React, Redux, Node, MongoDB and MySQL-based PWA. Live patient diagnosis by use of AWS SQS, SNS and Web Sockets. Offline support for use in rural areas by using IndexedDB to save data in browser storage. Increased website performance by 40% based on lighthouse scores.
Worked on bug fixing, creating components integration of APIs, improving styling using CSS in JS and also E2E Testing using Cypress.
Worked on the front end in React.js. Designed, debugged and developed several components, used all over the website. I also worked on the integration of APIs. Worked and collaborated with the team to make the website responsive.
